Are there a lot of industries in which India and Canada are economically comparable on wages and cost-of-living?
Do you think a good-faith argument compares AC's conditions to antipodal markets it serves twice or three times a day, or the neighbouring market it serves 100+ times a day?
Does a national market thoroughly dominated by one company represent a fair reflection of "the local Canadian labour market", or the fact that the by-far-most-powerful corporation in the Canadian industry has been able to dictate terms whether equitable or otherwise?
